Avis pour Mama Bangkok

thai(30) pad thai(25) chicken(5) system(4) quality(4) price(4) cashier(3) computer(3) scroll(3) spicy(3)The customer service is extremely poor. It's unfortunate because the food itself is quite good. They really need to improve their attitude toward customers. Also, cash only? That's surprising & inconvenient.
Giving this review mostly for the awful service here. Lady is very rude.
Food portion was very small. Mostly rice.
Their hours of operation is not consistent with Google Maps. I arrived according to their opening hours & it was closed , the owner had a terrible attitude about me trying to order & asking about their opening hours, which was weird…
They've cut down their menu by a lot too, now serving pretty much just pad thai & not much else.
UPDATE: The food gave me food poisoning. I felt unwell the entire evening following & then threw up. DO NOT EAT HERE
Everything is awkward with mama bankok: the location is awkward, looking through the gigantic menu plastered on the wall is awkward, ordering through their tablet is awkward, the service is awkward, the restrictive limits on how to pay is awkward, & the lack of chopsticks is awkward. Even the seating is awkward.
They bumped their price by a lot (pad thai chicken used to be 12, it costs me 19 total now) & I disagree with all the other comments saying this is the best pad thai or a very authentic one. I found it to be closer in taste to a Thai Express pad thai. Mine in particular was so salty I couldn't have more than a few bites.
By the 1st of january 2026 they are going to switch to cash only. That paired with everything else (especially the price bump), I don't see why you would ever choose this place over the hundred other asian restaurants around.
Tried to go to another restaurant but it was closed so went for this one. Worst idea! I should have checked the reviews. First the service was so bad, plus I get so sick after eating the shrimp pad Thai, vomit multiple times tonight….someone needs to check their hygiene in the kitchen
Pad Thai was delicious & the Tom Yum was good! Service was fairly quick.
Amazing food. I order pad Thai with breaded chicken & it's my favourite pad Thai. The self-service system can be finicky but it's not a problem once you know how to use it. I never had an issue with service from the cashier (maybe it's a different person) but they've been nice & to-the-point.
Best Pad Thai in Montreal hands down. The first thing I do when I get back to the city after travelling abroad is getting a Pad Thai from Mama Bangkok. Ignore all the snarky borderline xenophobic reviews about the lady behind the register, I've been going to this place for years & she has always been polite & attentive. I will forever be recommending this place
Foods too good to care about the counter service stop being babies
I almost did not want to try because of the low review. Though I want to acknowledge that most of the reviews about the snob lady is true! Lol! But I'm not here to be friends with her, I'm here to try their pad thai! I wasn't disappointed, it's a legit pad thai & really one of the best in the city! This review is from a guy who lived in South East Asia half of his adult life & have been to Thailand more than 20x. I know a real pad thai versus a regular stir fry. :) The serving is huge, two people can share. I will be back for sure!
Best Pad Thai in the city, I'm not even joking. I'd gladly let the rude cashier spit on me if that's what was needed to eat her food.
You know the food is fire if the one star reviews are all about the'bad' service. Don't let the lower ratings fool you.
This food is top tier & delicious. The workers just don't wanna deal with people which is fine, because they make amazing food & for any question you might have there is a sign, so just look around & read it & enjoy the food!
If you want better than average Pad Thai & are a good problem solver (order system takes some getting used to), you don't have to worry about grumpy service. It's not a restaurant folks, you don't have to tip. Just grab, go, & enjoy!
